In 2012, The Sound of Young America was renamed Bullseye while continuing to have much of the same format as before.
Thorn has been an important leader in the podcast business. Fast Company called him "the most important person in entertainment you've never heard of" and "the Zelig of modern culture." In 2011, the magazine chose him as one of the 100 most creative people in business. In 2009, Jesse helped comedian and podcaster Marc Maron to set up the microphones and software necessary to produce his WTF with Marc Maron podcast from his garage. Maron thanked Jesse again for this on the podcast's 300th episode. Jesse is also the coproducer of the public radio broadcast version of Maron's podcast.

In October 2013, Theresa gave birth to a son, named Oscar. In February 2017, Thorn announced the birth of their third child, Curtis. In April 2013, Theresa Thorn became the co-host, along with Biz Ellis, of the Maximum Fun podcast "One Bad Mother."
